let the training begin!

In March Tom and I will be leading a trip to Nepal. We'll be taking 13 kids and 7 leaders (including ourselves) to Nepal on a mission trip. We'll be spending time in villages, trekking the Himalaya's, and sharing Jesus as we go. In preparation of our trip we had our first training session today, which was a three hour hike. The terrain we hiked today does not even compare to what we will see in Nepal, but it was a good work out (I'm sure our legs will be sore tomorrow). Here are some pictures of the practice hike today:

Here's the team


I'm not sure exactly how this was made, but it looked like we were in Antarctica or something.


Thanks Mom and Dad for the new hiking pants and shirt...they worked great!
